Abstract/Contents:Profiles the Big Sky Golf and Country Club in Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada, host of Fall Field Day in September of 2007. States that "one of the most prominent landscape features at Big Sky is Mount Currie, reaching 2.7 km (9,000 ft. [feet]) into the air, with the course tucked right at the bottom." Suggests that "the toughest turf maintenance challenge at Big Sky would have to be the heat...temperatures are generally three to eight degrees warmer than in the surrounding Whistler area and can average between 36 to 40 C [Celsius] (96 to 104 F [Fahrenheit]) for several weeks in the summer." States that "a wonderful addition to the club is the academy course, playing to a par of 27. Maintained to the same exacting standards as the championship layout, the Academy Course and Golf Academy are perfect for the low handicapper looking for an iron play and short game tune-up."
